Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I'm very thankful with the care and how helpful the Dr. Kobalter has been

I'm so sad to hear that Dr. Kobalter is retiring. Appointments don't feel rushed and he listens to what I have to say. He doesn't try to persuade me out of what I want, but does thoroughly go over risks/benefits without seeming pushy in his recommendations. He's absolutely wonderful and I'll miss him being my provider.

The provider was always very friendly and always answered all my questions. Made an appointment as I needed him to see me right away. Never had me waiting in the room for more than 10 minutes. His staff is amazing and always made me feel comfortable. I would recommend this provider to anyone needed the help I needed.

Dr Kobalter, is easy to communicate with. He makes sure he answers any concerns you may have. Additionally, takes time to explain how the process of the procedure would go. He is a excellent doctor.

Treated me with respect, answered all of my questions and at every point spoke to me like I was rational and intelligent.He explained what were and were not possible as treatments for my situation and thoroughly mapped out the treatment we decided on. He spent well over the allotted time for my appointment to address everything.

Dr Kobalter is always great. He takes me seriously and addresses all of my concerns. He is very familiar with my medical history and always does his best to help me. I have a complex health history and other OBGYNs have not been nearly as thorough or helpful.

Dr. Kobalter was exceptionally detailed and took his time answering my questions to make me feel comfortable. I had bloodwork done and he messaged me the very next day with my results. Front office staff was very friendly and helpful as I went to the wrong building for my appointment and they assured me this wasn't an issue and instructed me how to get to the correct location.
